TOWN HALL MEETING THURSDAY EMU STUDENT CENTER : POLICING AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS

There will be a Town Hall Meeting regarding policing and community relations Thursday 7pm at the Eastern Michigan University Student Center July 21. There will be a panel discussion with the community. The event will be moderated by WEMU News Director David Fair. as well as All Things Considered host, Lisa Barry.

Featured will be a question and answers session with Washtenaw County Prosecutor Brian Mackie, U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, Myles McGuire (Activist) and Racial Justice Attorney Mark Fancher.

This will be a very

important Town Hall as there is much understandable concern and anger in the community after two black men were recently killed by police officers. Alton Sterling was killed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Philando Castile was killed in St. Paul Minnesota. Both men appeared to be killed for absolutely no reason. The public has a right to be angry. Hopefully, the Town Hall will provide positive dialogue in difficult times.

Hope to see you at the Town Hall Meeting: Policing and Community Relations event at EMU.
